[QUOTE="doctorhook, post: 4419439, member: 58401"] You are aware that 4E only gives enhancement bonuses to the following, yes?[INDENT]A.) Armor slot items: armor and robes; B.) Weapon items: Weapons and Implements; C.) Neck slot items: Cloaks and Amulets.[/INDENT]If not, now you do. And so, neither shields nor rings have enhancement bonuses in 4E. [U][B] EDIT:[/B][/U] But you're right, that shield is messed up. As written, there doesn't seem to be any reason to ever buy the Paragon or Epic versions of this item. I'm going to assume that something to the following effect was omitted from the item ([COLOR=Orange][B]Shield of the Barrier Sentinels[/B][/COLOR], [URL="http://www.wizards.com/files/366_Mithrendain.pdf"]page 12[/URL], [COLOR=Gray]retrieved at 19:47MT, 8 Aug 08[/COLOR]):[INDENT][B][COLOR=Lime]Level 19: +4 bonus. Level 29: +6 bonus.[/COLOR][/B][/INDENT]This seems in line with the progression of other, similar items in the PH. I also wonder if the shield's currently-untyped bonus was supposed to be typed as an [COLOR=Lime][B]item bonus[/B][/COLOR]. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
